This 1989 Fender HM Strat represents Fender's answer to the superstrat revolution—a USA-made shred machine with HSS pickup configuration, locking Kahler tremolo, and 24 frets on a maple fingerboard. Finished in period-correct Redstone, this guitar embodies late-'80s hard rock aesthetic and functionality. Moderate play wear reflects honest gigging use, but the neck remains stable, frets show only minor wear, and the guitar plays great with fully functional electronics.
HSS pickup configuration delivers humbucker power in the bridge for lead work while maintaining single-coil clarity in middle and neck positions. The Kahler locking tremolo—a Floyd Rose alternative favored by some players for its fine-tuning capabilities—remains fully functional. 25.5" scale length maintains traditional Strat feel. 24 frets and maple fingerboard support upper-register shred techniques that defined the era. USA craftsmanship ensures quality build standards.
Moderate play wear consistent with 35+ years of use—priced accordingly. Neck is stable with minor fret wear. Plays great with fully functional electronics and hardware. This is a player-grade vintage instrument, not a pristine collector piece.
